Thanks mate... basically I got every factory installed option except the iPod connector and cruise control...  (apologies for being a show-off)

On a different note, I'm totally hooked on "pimping my whip" - if I was to be honest, it's scary the amount of time I spend on this forum  :popcornsoda:

Posting these to add to the completeness of the BG thread... not because I'm an attention whore. ;)

Tinto - this is eye-candy to me... is there any "photo editing trickery" that's been applied - can't help notice your car looks too good in the garage shots....  :rolleye:

Loving it...  :happy2:

Thanks guys :D

VC - Most of the pics are available in high res on my flicker album for this car:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/16818590@N08/sets/72157620441401731/
Click on 'All sizes' above the pic you're keen on.

Mojo - Most of the pics get a bit of sharpening and a touch of levels work just to knock off any highlights or bring out detail in the shadows.
But the bounced light in the underground carpark does give some pretty cool effects on its own, so very little was done there.
I sometimes add a little bit of vignetting to focus your attention a bit, but they are usually left alone - I bracket in-camera a lot to get the right exposure (don't trust the LCD on the back of the cam)

Can't see "All sizes" option above the pic to download the photo. Do I need to register with flikr?

Here is my new graphite blue golf, still to be paint corrected, however a quick wash and wax in the mean time has it looking rather shiney.
